Borderlands 2 Rewards Players Of The Original

Did you love the original Borderlands? Are you looking forward to playing Borderlands 2? Would you say you loved the series enough to walk about with it emblazoned upon your chest? If you answered yes to all three (and that last one is pretty important), then you'll no doubt be thrilled when you find out what series veterans get when they load up Borderlands 2 upon launch.

The above image was posted on the Gearbox blog today. Basically, if Borderlands 2 detects any save data from the original on your hard drive, you'll find these in your library of skins. Yeah, I didn't think a "reward" would involve, you know, looking like you were spruiking the game at a noisy trade show. These are about as ostentatious as wielding glitzy golden pistols in gritty modern shooters -- though honestly, if anyone could get away with this, it's Gearbox. They proved that they didn't mind poking fun at their own work back in February, with the Borderlands 2 release date trailer.

So that's what the loud 'n' proud Borderlands outfits look like. Click to embiggen, if you wish to view the stitching on those threads close-up.
